Let’s face it, if you live by the beach, chances are you're a summer person. You probably long for the sun, sand and the sound of the ocean crashing on the surf all winter long.
But thanks to the magic of the holidays, you can’t help but dream of a White Christmas filled with caroling, hot chocolate by the fire and of course Nubble Lighthouse perfectly dressed for the occasion.
Lucky for us Southern Mainers there’s never a lack of anything to do this time of year. Here are some of our favorites!
